[Impact]
An SRU of nspr to make CD-based upgrades work better from 10.04 to 12.04 has caused failures in other cases where users have continuously upgraded their systems from Ubuntu 9.04 or earlier and as a result have had old, obsolete evolution packages held back. These users can now not upgrade at all using update-manager.
[Test case]
1. Fish an old Ubuntu 9.04 CD out of the drawer and install in English. Make sure that the language-support-en package and language-support-translations-en are installed.
2. Manually upgrade to 10.04. Check that language-support-en is still installed.
3. Run update-manager -d to upgrade to 12.04. Verify that this upgrade fails.
4. Enable -proposed, so that precise-proposed will be used in the upgrade to 12.04.
5. Run update-manager -d again. Verify that the upgrade now succeeds.
[Regression potential]
The risk of regression here is difficult to quantify without an exhaustive examination of all historic packages in Ubuntu that depended on one or more of these now-obsolete language support packages. Adding these Conflicts may result in other, different upgrade failures for yet another set of users. What can be said is that any user affected by either this regression, or a regression resulting from this change, had obsolete packages installed which should be removed from their system; and the only effective way to identify any such remaining cases is by making the upgrade to 12.04 refuse to work until they've been dealt with.

[Impact]
An SRU of nspr to make CD-based upgrades work better from 10.04 to 12.04 has caused failures in other cases where users have continuously upgraded their systems from Ubuntu 9.04 or earlier and as a result have had old, obsolete evolution packages held back. These users can now not upgrade at all using update-manager.
[Test case]
1. Fish an old Ubuntu 9.04 CD out of the drawer and install in English. Make sure that the language-support-en package and language-support-translations-en are installed.
2. Manually upgrade to 10.04. Check that language-support-en is still installed.
3. Run update-manager -d to upgrade to 12.04. Verify that this upgrade fails.
4. Enable -proposed, so that precise-proposed will be used in the upgrade to 12.04.
5. Run update-manager -d again. Verify that the upgrade now succeeds.
Alternatively:
1. Get a 12.04 chroot
2. Add natty and jaunty to /etc/apt/sources.list
3. sudo apt-get install evolution-plugins/natty evolution-common/natty libnspr4/natty language-support-translations-en/jaunty language-support-en/jaunty language-support-writing-en/jaunty
4. Drop natty and jaunty from /etc/apt/sources.list
5. Check that system is broken in apt-get -f install or apt-get dist-upgrade
6. Get new libnspr4
7. Upgrade now works, removing language-support-translations-en and language-support-en
[Regression potential]
The risk of regression here is difficult to quantify without an exhaustive examination of all historic packages in Ubuntu that depended on one or more of these now-obsolete language support packages. Adding these Conflicts may result in other, different upgrade failures for yet another set of users. What can be said is that any user affected by either this regression, or a regression resulting from this change, had obsolete packages installed which should be removed from their system; and the only effective way to identify any such remaining cases is by making the upgrade to 12.04 refuse to work until they've been dealt with.
Could not calculate the upgrade
An unresolvable problem occurred while calculating the upgrade.
Please report this bug against the 'update-manager' package and include the following error message:
'E:Error, pkgProblemResolver::Resolve generated breaks, this may be caused by held packages.'
Package dependencies cannot be resolved
This error could be caused by required additional software packages which are missing or not installable. Furthermore there could be a conflict between software packages which are not allowed to be installed at the same time.
